New / BEefier Torsion Bars

[Matt Bachand]

Do they offer a stronger torsion bars for my truck?

After all these years and heavy heavy plow, i wonder if they are fatigued.

Thanks!

For your year truck I am pretty sure GM makes a few different load ratings. You might want to check with a dealer or a online factory parts place to see what they offer per your vin and other options.
